Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny.

Andrew G. Clark, +429 more
- 08 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization and speciation

Richard J. Abbott, +38 more
TL;DR: A perspective on the context and evolutionary significance of hybridization during speciation is offered, highlighting issues of current interest and debate and suggesting that the Dobzhansky–Muller model of hybrid incompatibilities requires a broader interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Coevolutionary Process

TL;DR: The geographic mosaic theory of coevolution was proposed by Thompson as mentioned in this paper to understand the development of reciprocal adaptations and specializations in interdependent species, using examples of species interaction from a range of taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sexual selection and speciation.

TL;DR: It is argued that more detailed studies are needed, examining extinction rates and other sources of variation in species richness, to convincingly conclude speciation by sexual selection.
